Example of Linux using Fdisk to add partitions

Examples of adding partitions using Fdisk;

In this example we will add two 200M primary partitions, the others are extended partitions, we add two 200M-size logical partitions in the extended partition

Command (M for help): P Note: Lists the partition table;
disk/dev/sda:1035 MB, 1035730944 bytes
Heads, Sectors/track, cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16128 * 8257536 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
Command (M for help): N Note: Add partition;
Command Action
E Extended
P primary partition (1-4)
P Note: Add primary partition;

Partition number (1-4): 1 Note: add primary partition 1;
First cylinder (1-125, default 1): Note: Direct carriage return, primary partition 1 start position, default is 1, default is good;
Using Default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (1-125, default): +200m Note: Specify the partition size and +200m to specify a size of 200M
Command (M for help): N Note: add a new partition;
Command Action
E Extended
P primary partition (1-4)
P Note: Add primary partition

Partition number (1-4): 2 Note: add primary partition 2;
First cylinder (26-125, default 26):
Using Default Value 26
Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (26-125, default): +200m Note: Specify the partition size and +200m to specify a size of 200M
Command (M for help): N
Command Action
E Extended
P primary partition (1-4)
E Note: Add extended partition;
Partition number (1-4): 3 Note: specified as 3, because the primary partition has been divided by two, this is also the primary partition, starting from 3;
First cylinder (51-125, default 51): Note: direct carriage return;
Using Default Value 51
Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (51-125, default 125): Note: Direct carriage return, all the rest of the space to the extended partition;
Using Default Value 125
Command (M for help): P
disk/dev/sda:1035 MB, 1035730944 bytes
Heads, Sectors/track, cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16128 * 8257536 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/DEV/SDA1 1 201568+ Linux
/dev/sda2 201600 Linux
/dev/sda3 604800 5 Extended
Command (M for help): N
Command Action
L logical (5 or over)
P primary partition (1-4)
L Note: Add logical partition;
First cylinder (51-125, default 51):
Using Default Value 51
Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (51-125, default): +200m Note: Add a partition with a size of 200M;
Command (M for help): N
Command Action
L logical (5 or over)
P primary partition (1-4)
L Note: Add a logical partition;
First cylinder (76-125, default 76):
Using Default Value 76
Last cylinder or +size or +sizem or +sizek (76-125, default): +200m Note: Add a partition with a size of 200M;
Command (M for help): p lists the partition table;
disk/dev/sda:1035 MB, 1035730944 bytes
Heads, Sectors/track, cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16128 * 8257536 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System


Then we change the partition type by the T-command according to the previous.

Finally don't forget W save exit
